U.K. Politics: Nadhim Zahawi sacked by Rishi Sunak

Cliff's notes version on why she lasted less than lettuce please.

[Fan]

Nothing surprises me anymore at this point, therefore I find it so hard to celebrate her resinging. Of course I am delighted, yet you know all potential new leaders are just as vile, horrendous and plain evil. The tory party is just full of scum and it's never going to change.

[Thriller]

I never thought it possible but I actually think there’s a big chance Boris will be back.

The Times political editor is reporting that Boris is going to stand in the leadership contest

Not this again...

What a mess!

The lettuce will make an official statement at 6pm. I can't.

GO, lettuce, GO. Tell em. I secretly hope that the lettuce will announce Britain's return to the EU. It would be hysterical.

[Artoo]

Ever since the UK left Europe, bad things have happened to them.

It wasn’t great before that either! The Conservatives have damaged this country beyond belief, and the worst part of it is the public has repeatedly voted them in since 2010, and The Conservatives themselves voted for Liz Truss to become leader less than seven weeks ago. It’s crazy.

Starmer demanding a general election.

Jeremy Hunt confirming he won’t be standing for the leadership.

[Nost]

Ever since the UK left Europe, bad things have happened to them.

[Artoo]

I believe Hunt isn’t entering the race.

The good news just keeps coming!

[Artoo]

The BBC is having a whale of a time

”She will forever be associated with a pub quiz question: Who was the UK’s shortest running Prime Minister?”

[Thriller]

So I guess Sunak will get the job in a leadership contest - despite what Hunt has done over the last week, I don’t see the party rallying around him. General election before Christmas?

I believe Hunt isn’t entering the race.

The lettuce won afterall! guys watch the lettuce live video its hilarious

Lettuce for PM! Can’t do any worse.

Wow. What a mess.

[hun]

Iconic. She’ll go down in history. What a shame she’s the last PM Queen Liz inducted!

[Thriller]

Bye luv! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Honestly, the utter mess she has made of our country, which was already in a state, is shameful. Didn’t they used to drown witches years ago?

[bm08]

This is absolutely insane. The country and government is so unstable at the moment. It's hard to know where we go from here.

[Wayne]

As I said and thought, she’s had to go. It’s untenable - what an absolute nightmare for the U.K. - I would even call it a crisis.

[Artoo]

She’s going

The BBC just pointed out the campaign to become Prime Minister was longer than the amount of time she’s been Prime Minister

I really did think that when she fired her chancellor that it was basically a ‘him or her’ situation, and that the party would rally around her to regain a status quo and restore stability, buying her twelve months. It looks like she tried to do that, but completely messed that up too.

[Artoo]

Looks like she’s going - statement in ten minutes.
